I just found out not an hour ago about the stat requirements from another post of yours. I also was puzzled when I found a really good bow on my warrior and could equip it. I looked and there was no Dex requirement, I just thought it was that type of weapon, now I know better. ^^;
Beholder's, yes, that's what they are! Haha. xD
I regret putting anything in Potion Efficiency. I don't rely on potions very much. I try to not use them actually. I'd rather rely on food and some downtime that waste them and have none when they are needed. Besides, Food + my Hp Regen gets me to full Hp rather quickly. The only time I use potions is when things are in large groups and they out damage my Hp Regen or I can't get a hit in so Life Leech doesn't work...
The only time Thousand Strikes has come in handy for me is on bosses, which I have fought 1 of since I obtained it and I will talk about that in a second.
I most likely won't take Mana Efficiency mainly because I don't use my Mana enough for it to really matter. The only time it's even really dented is right after I summon my Creature or use Battle Rage. Even then it recovers by the time I need to again. But when I make my Ranger, I think I will take it. Because like you, I am not putting anything into Spir/Int. And I will definitely need it on my Mage. c:
Right now my Creature has the Ranger head I think because I haven't found a Mage head, though when I do, he will have that. I like to think of my Creature as the thing I am not. If I am playing a combat character, my Creature should be a ranger. If I am a ranger, Creature should be combat. (: That way they can pull mobs away from me when needed and I think it's more effective to cover all types of combat when in a team than having both you and your Creature hacking away at the same dead combat mob while getting blasted by a ranger mob, lol.
I am at Sentinel Island right now about to find that ladies ring and I'm lvl 20. I think I read your tip too late. >________________<' OH well, next time I will be sure to not make that mistake. ^^;
I don't feel like turning my game on to get my exact stats, but I am lvl 20 right now and sit at 56 Vit I think and 59 Str with equips. I am going to start stripping before I lvl up that way I don't add in my equips to my base stats because then I would just be thrown off. I got through Maxos Temple with ease until the Maze which Google solved for me. I would most likely still be running around if it weren't for that, haha. Then it was easy then on out. I liked it though, it was fun. (: It wasn't too combat oriented, but it wasn't JUST puzzle after puzzle. The only thing I dislike is that because I was higher lvled I got hardly no EXP for anything I did.
Cheat: You can abuse the barrel respawns to lvl up which I did by accident. I checked it, then got attacked and thought "Oh, maybe there's something important in there." There isn't. Found the cup though, then the woman inside my head is like "The difference was dust when I took my test." GET OVER IT HAG.
After making it to Sentinel Island, which is lovely by the way. I really enjoy the like...feel of it. How it's the waiting room for my servants to be and The Island is so cool. I wish my character could look like her. She's awesome, and I bet a very talented Mage. <3 For my people, I did some research and decided that these were the best for me:
Hermosa, Barbatos, Wesson, Jonelath
Though I did give up to Malicite Gems, which kinda upsets me a little because I will most likely need them as I only have 3 at the moment. ):
And Vacca gets upset if you take his gem which can be sold for a nice 5k. It was worth his death, he was just as savage as his kin, the filth liar!
Before going forward in the story line I wanted to make sure I did everything in Broken Valley, because I think here soon it gets destroyed...though I am not 100% sure. Like the above states I got my 3rd Malicite Gem which was from the sleeping trio. Beer, Apple and Health Potion is all you need, along with 3 Mindreads and some dialogue you can chuckle at. The other 2 are bought from a merchant in Broken Valley Village, though I don't recall his name. I'm horrible with names. ;~;
My Lockpick now also sits at 4/5. Because of that, I ran through the entire Broken Valley AGAIN to find any missing chest. Also running into Bellagar again and he made me fight Goblin Training Dumbies...which was...weird, but that's his style, so~ He's my favorite character in the game thus far. Talked to the fortune teller for her last fortune and then she runs away screaming, lol. Something about The Damned One. Got that achievement though. (: I also noticed some experience I missed, though small amounts, I could have gotten it earlier...which rather depresses me, but whatever. Along with the now known fact the The Island's Mindread can lvl you up no matter what. >_______<'
OH! The "boss battle" I was in. Haha, the Killer Bunny. In ED I fought her on my Rage/Mage Hybrid when I was lvl 13 and trapped it on a cliff type deal and it took an hour to slay with the help of my creature. Was interesting. Got to lvl 14 though~ Wasting every mana potion I owned. >: But this time she was much easier, kinda. I pondered if she still hit 400's, and YES. IT. DOES. Scared the shit outta me too. Seeing a 398 pop up on my screen had me jumping backwards in .2sec. Though, with the help of Thousand Strikes, she was down in 3 uses of that. That is the only time it was helpful though. Sadly. Waste of points, and I wish it wasn't single target... Bout it for updating anyone who comes along and reads this. The fact that I am about to reach Battle Tower is the only thing not stopping me from restarting this character because I just feel like I messed her up. :C
Quick question! Is this game like Oblivion, where if you take Vit early, it increases your Hp more or no? Like, in Oblivion, the higher your Endurance, the higher your Hp would raise each lvl you got. If that is the case, I am definitely restarting because I lvled Str first, then Vit as yo where I should have done it the other way around...
